55 quid a day bargain...and you want it just up the road to you.there's no pleasing some people! :grin:
they are putting the bus prices up all over the country,using the cost of providing free buses for OAP's as the excuse.
and stagecoaches profits for last year? 126 million net.

and they have the cheek to blame labour costs
bloody £7.35 an hour no overtime rate no weekend or bank holiday rate
and they offered us 25p an hour rise





greedy bastads

by the way the pay offer was refused
so we might save you money


if we strike no buses save fare simple really :shock:

im surprised they get buses around with all those country lanes dawlish, i'd of thought a tractor and wagon would of been an easier option :wink: .

on the topic of buses i honestly dont know how they are on the roads (government grants aside) not many people seem to use buses round our way and the prices are bloody outrageous.

i dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing but most houses now have 2-3 car families, what pisses me off is most days theres always one on the drive so why do they need as many :evil:

stagecoach stockton are paying three poles to sit and do nothing till their 2 year contract ends because they cant learn the lingo sufficiently well to go on the road.
and others just run round empty because the locals wont use their buses as they dont give out change
